The Philadelphia Eagles‘ offensive lineman, Josh Sills, stands accused of committing a heinous crime on December 5, 2019, in which he allegedly held a woman against her will in his pickup truck and forced her to perform a sex act on Josh Sills. The trial commenced with emotional opening statements, with the prosecution detailing the harrowing events while the defense maintained that the act was consensual. During the trial, the victim’s cousin, Breanna Woods, took the stand as a crucial witness. She testified that she was with a group of friends, including the victim, when they encountered Josh Sills one evening. According to Woods, the victim and Josh Sills later stayed at her house after a night out at some bars. The following morning, the victim appeared visibly shaken, prompting Woods to take her to the hospital for medical assistance. A SANE kit (Sexual Assault Nurse’s Examination) was performed, and the victim was described as “crying and sad” during her time at the hospital, as recounted by Deputy Mark Fehr from the Guernsey County Sheriff’s Department.
